2 or 3 points?
 

1) A player attempts a 3 point shot from behind the arc. The defense takes off from inside the arc and clearly blocks the shot. The shot goes in. What is the call?

2) A player from behind the 3 point arc attempts to pass the ball into the post. The defense inside the 3 point line deflects the ball into the basket. What is the call?

1. 3

2. 2

I say 3 & 3.

This...

backed up by that...

+1

Read this wrong at first. If it does not touch the same team or floor it is counted as a 3.

We just had this question, and Camron talked me out of counting play 2 as a 3. :(

Had this one wrong
 

I always thought I had read somewhere if it was a pass and then touches someone inside the 2 point area, then it would be counted as 2 points.

Am I confusing two things here?

Sorry talking play 2

If it's clear that the touch by the defense is what made it go in, this is a 2.

Here's the text of 5-2-1:

A successful try, tap or thrown ball from the field by a player who is located behind the team's own 19-foot, 9-inch arc counts three points. A ball that touches the floor, a teammate inside the arc, an official, or any other goal from the field counts two points for the team into whose basket the ball is thrown.

<s>I agree if it is apparent that A1's try is unsuccessful because it is no longer a try.</s>

Nevermind, misread the play.

Everything except the defender.

Try or pass... doesnt matter.

Play 1 or 2 here?

I was referring to 2 but I mistakenly thought it was a try. So disregard my previous post.
